berkeley and author of the book "after shock." the republicans are shocked at the numbers are they not, mr. reich? how much longer can the republicans get away with just taking good economic news and spinning it negatively? what do you think? >> they will try to do it, ed and continue to try to do it right up through election day. look, 8.3% unemployment in an ordinary economy, in an economy not through what we went through, would be bad. but the trend and the important thing is the trend is in the right direction, this is tremendously helpful to president obama. at the same time, though, it could go because these numbers are variable, could go up in a month. republicans are more likely now to sign up for and vote for an extension of unemployment benefits and also for an extension of the payroll tax cut, because they don't want to be blamed if the economy just one month maybe in february or march, doesn't do as well as it has been doing. they are setting themselves up right now to be blamed if the economy doesn't continue this tre

berkeley, one of the finest colleges in the world. she bravely stepped forward last week and publicly apologized for her role in the ad, saying she is deeply sorry and feels horrible about her participation in the ad. the candidate who approved that message, republican pete hoekstra, who's running for senate in michigan against democrat debbie stabenow, has been sliding in the polls very badly since that ad went on the air, and that trend continues in our nbc news/marist poll, released today. hoekstra is now trailing stabenow but 21 points. and so, the hoekstra campaign, after defending the ad, has quietly scrubbed the ad from the web. it's gone from hoekstra's facebook page, gone from youtube, but the stain on the campaign remains. a 21-point stain. it could turn out that what this actress did in pete hoekstra's ad will do more to re-elect senator debbie stabenow than anyone who appears in the stabenow campaign ads. ♪ [ kareem ] i was fascinated by balsa wood airplanes since i was a kid.

she's a graduate of uc berkeley, one of the most distinguished institutions of higher learning in the world. we can only imagine what she has gone through in the weeks since i singled her out out on national television to address her participation in this ad. i used it to make the more general point that actors should refuse this kind of work. they should take a pledge, i will not play dirty politics. meaning the actor will not play a racial stereotype or tell lies in political advertising. the acting community should simply say, if you are going to make lying, offensive political ads you are going to do it without our help. in her apology lisa chan says "i feel horrible " and i think we know that must be an understatement i think we know this young actress, just trying to get her start, trying to get experience in front of the camera has been going through a personal hell in the last week that she never saw coming. and that horrible week for lisa chan turned out to be a horrible week for hoekstra a's campaign. it appeared as a local ad during the super bowl in michigan and since then
